Week 6 - Designing Solar Panel Mounts, side, roof

This week I worked on designing a solar panel mount for the side panels and the top panels. I thought about a thin sheet metal design but having access to the solar panels is also important. I finally decided to go with a sheet metal design that would allow for the panels to mount at each end as seen in the image here:

The beam at right edge in Figure 1 will hold the side panels and the top panels in place. More documents for this week can be found here: Click here. My intent was to clamp on the panels once they set they're set inside the frame.
